What four? For the sake of robes, almsfood, lodgings, or rebirth in this or that state. These are the four things that give rise to craving in a mendicant.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cCraving is a person\u2019s partner as they transmigrate on this long journey. They go from this state to another, but don\u2019t escape transmigration. Knowing this danger, that craving is the cause of suffering\u2014 rid of craving, free of grasping, a mendicant would wander mindful.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"The Arising of Craving","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":127}
